This COA was developed with input from local employers.
Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.
This certificate uses existing program courses, it is merely a repackaging of curriculum, creating some small specialty certificates. Spoke with Gerlinde Brady, CTE Dean at Cabrillo College. No impact to Cabrillo Colleges Horticulture program is anticipated.
